Global Ordinance-Arsenal 7.62x39 Coupon code GLOBAL10 (not sure how long it is valid for) With the coupon code, $12.95 shipping, no sales tax for me, it brings it to $327.94 a case. Not bad for this day in age.

Nice to see some Bulgarian 7.62x39mm coming in.

The green case mouth seal is the color code used by the Bulgarians for lead core projectiles.

Beggers can't be choosers, corrosive or non-corrosive?

Any history on this ammunition?  I’ve never seen Arsenal 7.62x39 ammo before…I am newer to the AK game, though.

This appears to be new production ammo. I think there was some Bulgarian surplus years ago. From what I’ve seen elsewhere it’s either a 20 or 21 head stamp date. I assume it should be good ammo, Arsenal Bulgaria isn’t known to put out junk.

I hope to see some reviews before too long, I’m looking to pick some up.

My order is due to arrive Monday. Update, it came early. @HackSawTom on the packaging it said it was non corrosive. Then it comes sealed in plastic per 500 rounds.

Looks like the “GLOBAL10” expired on the 17th. Any other codes that might work?  My total is coming in at $380 shipped and saving $53 would be greatly appreciated!

I figured I would give GO a call to see if they would still honor the 10% code but the nice person on the phone told me the only coupon code they have active is for free shipping - “FREESHIP”. It was $367.14 shipped including taxes for me. Not terrible for Bulgarian stuff nowadays I dont think.

Thanks.

That looks like the "10 94" lead core stuff I had back in the day, ball powder included, only it was copper-clad steel cased.

Just saw they have a 10% code for now: 10OFFAMMO

Would love to know this!  I know it’s 122 gr, but I’m curious how it compares to the 123 gr Barnaul and Wolf, which is my preferred 7.62x39.

Interested to hear how this stuff shoots as well..

I have only shot 20 rounds of this ammo so far.
It is a bi-metal jacket, no surprises there.
It reminds me of Romanian ammo. Maybe that’s from similar sealant colors. It seams like good ammo.
I wouldn’t pay a premium for it.
GO seam like decent folks

Ordered another case a couple days ago when they were running the 10% presidents day sale so hopefully they honor my order. I think they will but I know after the Russian/Ukraine thing a lot of steel case went up.


I'd probably grab some brass case x39 at .50 per in this case or at least while it's available atm but it seems like decent quality.

Here are some pictures of the ammo I received today.  The GO site is lacking with details and pictures.
This is Bulgarian Circle 10 ammo made by Arsenal.  Non-Corrosive (per the package), lead core.

It was under 350 a few days ago.


I assume they weren't selling many after the initial hike. I was a buyer at under 35 cents but I'm buying brass at anything above that.

Hopefully this stuff is decent.  Now being sold by Atlantic!  $439 + tax shipped per case.  Would be awesome if this is a start of other former Eastern Bloc nations filling the void left by the current steel cased ammo situation.

I shot 15 rounds of this through a scoped 7.62x39 AR, which has proven itself fairly accurate (capable of 1 MOA with handloads using hood bullets).

25 round group of this GO ammo gave me 4 MOA.

So pretty good for steel case FMJ.

Any updates on performance and quality? I just ordered a case but have not gotten it yet. PSA had it in stock and lowest price of all the x39 they had. It was 39 cents a round. Not great, not terrible.

Ammo Inc. was 44 cents
Tula was 45 cents

After extensive search's i found Ammoman is the cheapest total delivered price on 1000 rounds of Global 7.62x39 that is in stock. I ordered a case and it's on the way.

I’m seeing $405/1000 from Ammoman with free shipping.

Outdoor Unlimited is showing $384.99/1000 with free shipping.  SGAmmo shows $389.50/1000 with free shipping.

Is there a code for Ammoman to make it cheaper?

Is that same Ammoman that got banned from here for ripping a member off over an SKS years ago? LOL.

I remember that!  It reached beyond arfcom back then and probably hit him in the wallet quite a bit.  I had an account back then but lost my login info and had to reregister.

I bought a bunch from them around 08. They used to be cheap. Then they discovered CTDs business model.

I have found the ammo to be wonderful.  Accurate, surefire and cleaner than many others.  Mine is also non corrosive like it says. Totally happy with it.
